Pâtissiers & Confectioners in Istanbul

Bahçekapı, Eminönü, Istanbul, Turkey

Hacı Bekir Efendi opened his confectionery in Bahçekapı in 1777, and the original storefront still stands on the same street, now run by the family's fifth generation and registered as a living heritage site. The shop makes lokum, akide rock candy, and helva by methods largely unchanged since the eighteenth century.

Istanbul / Türkiye

Hafız Mustafa 1864 has sold Turkish baklava, kadayıf, puddings, lokum, dragees, cakes and other confectionery since 1864. The house operates branches across Istanbul and internationally, including its historic Sirkeci presence as well as Dubai and London, while its dedicated online shop extends the same sweets beyond the physical network for domestic and international orders without tying the description to a brittle branch count.
